Johnson Controls Wins First Contract Under Clinton Climate Initiative

Johnson Controls has signed a contract to cut energy use and emissions from the largest shopping mall in India’s largest city, Mumbai, JS Online reports. The deal is with K Raheja Corp., an Indian real estate development company.

Johnson Controls says that the deal is the first contract signed through the Clinton Climate Initiative and will be financed through the $5 billion in financing that five major investment banks pledged last year. “We were informed by the Clinton Climate Initiative, ‘Congratulations on the first written contract,’ ” said Clay Nesler, vice president of energy and sustainability with Johnson Controls.
